Soybean Zlatopil'ska

Reliable Yield for Steppe Climate Challenges

The «Zlatopilska» soybean variety, developed by the Institute of Steppe Agriculture of NAAS, is a practical choice for farmers operating in regions with unstable moisture levels. It is primarily selected to provide a predictable, stable yield in challenging climatic conditions.

Agrotechnological Resilience

The primary advantage of this variety is its genetic resistance to common pathogens, which effectively reduces the need for frequent fungicide applications. «Zlatopilska» is highly tolerant to:

• Septoria and bacteriosis, ensuring plant health throughout the vegetative phase.
• Stem rot, which is crucial for preventing lodging and ensuring a clean harvest.
• Mycosphaerella blight and various viral mosaic diseases, maintaining productivity even under significant disease pressure.

Harvesting and Grain Quality

With a vegetation period of 115–120 days, this medium-maturing variety offers farmers flexibility in field operations. The lower pod insertion height (15–18 cm) is a key technological feature, minimizing harvest losses during mechanical harvesting. The grain quality remains high, with protein content reaching 41.2% and oil content up to 21.5%, making it highly competitive on both domestic and export markets.

Field Application Scenario

This variety is designed for farms prioritizing a balance between high-quality output and crop protection costs. Given its height (95–105 cm) and resistance to common soybean diseases, it performs consistently in diverse field conditions, making it a robust component of modern crop rotation schemes.
